When it comes to the act of nuptial-ing up itself, there's no symbol of communion more enshrined than the ring. We've covered matters of the wedding season for a pretty minute. Whether you're saying yes to a dress. or looking to refine the details of your mani and your lobes on that special day, we want you to be covered on all fronts - with your very best foot forward.

Now, we're onto matters of popping the question. Yes, we're moving back in time to the critical moment where time halts and you hear your ears ring. The moment where the box is proffered, where the beginning of your fates will twine together as one. Or, if you're a non-traditionalist like myself and most of the RUSSH team, you'll have your ring picked out yonks in advance. Perhaps even before that special someone has slotted into your life. Either way, the decision of a lifetime awaits. No pressure. We're here to assist.

More and more, we're seeing modern brides shed the traditional wedding attire in favour of something that feels a little more 'them'. Your wedding day is important, so why wouldn't you want to feel wholly and uniquely yourself? That starts with the little digit called the ring finger, and sets the pace for all bridal processions to follow. If you're a rule-flouter, selects from Harlot Hands are non-dicey on the wallet without losing any ornateness. For classical brides, we've got bespoke, signature designs from Cartier and Cushla Whiting. Simplicity or opulence, both will do. After all, you're looking for a symbol of you and yours. The rest is up to you.

Below, we've assembled the best engagement rings for the upcoming bridal season. Whether you're looking for a commitment that's a bit lighter on the string of zeroes or looking for something entirely custom-made, we've got you covered. It's time to go ring-shopping with RUSSH.
